DJ Premier vs RZA = No Score - Live Reflection - RECAP @REALDJPREMIER @RZA #RZAvsDJPremier

I can’t believe i am witnessing the records being released. Musical history during the times we are in, the hiphop GODS, came together and brought a moment, DJ Premier “ Timeless music”, Rza says “Beauty comes in all flavors”. DJ Premier has just dropped Unbelievable by Biggie Smalls, easily one of my favorite records of all time.

The nostalgic feeling to hear arguably 40 of the hottest records composed, in a musical genre which became my childhood anthems. I am noticing that towards the end ODB & Biggie Smalls (Brooklyn) was the heat in the battle keeping these legends alive. The comment thread was energetic, smiles and love around the chat room, as we get accustomed in the virtual world. Amazing to see the game changers, legends, pioneers to friends, family members all engaged in a monumental moment. I am looking forward when the tidal playlist drops, this is something I would play for my future family, this is the standard of the golden era.

Gangstarr - One of the Best Yet #1ofTheBestYet #BaldheadSlick #Guru #DjPremier

#DreamsAreTangibleGoals I am hiphop. 40 years old, my idols became peers.. Everything about the latest release of hiphop icon duo is a jolt to the culture. We have life, as find myself creating a new #hashtag #NRO (Now Rocking Out) just because i was inspired to hear some new Bald Head Slick. combined with Dj Premier production. Today is great day for us Hiphop, you and I, this is first material release since Guru passed away on April 19, 2010.

From the two release singles Bad Name & Family & Loyalty, we were hooked, Classic with dopest intro, some crowd paricipation, chanting, “ Gangstarr has got be the sure shot, and like that”, in the background different classic rotation. Man oh man I am already rocking. Let’s start the first record in Brownsville with MOP.. “Lights Out”. the joint is tough, loved how Fame went on the second verse. Track five What’s Real, after the second time it hit me, I loved the melodic combination of Gu’s first verse setting the tone to leaving it for Royce Da 5’9 destroy with certified street poetry on the hook Group Home.

Toward the end of the project Gu & Preem started talking you to school, starting with track 11 “So Many Rappers” is a joint that should be on rotation message for lol So Many Rappers, a solo effort showing Gu’s wittiness on the microphone. Next joint Business or Art featuring Talib Kweli is seriously is question that needs to be address. Maybe it’s my age, maybe i know how hard my guys work, the countless hours i have seen the greats do to produce the records we enjoy.

At this stage of the project I can’t wait to type this away. I truly have something to say, records “Bring it Back Here” , quick joint with Gu rocking out, fading into" “One of the Best Yet” featuring my OG’s Big Shug singing setting us with the “Take Flight’, ft. Big Shug & Freddie Fox who went ham.. Glad to hear Bumpy Knuckles spaz out on record.

In conclusion last record “Bless The Mic”, a prophetic joint, Premier had under wraps. I wanted to absoirb this project and after the second listen, this joint is going to continue to grow will be in your rotation and added to your playlist and once again RIP GURU AND FLOWERS TO DJ PREMIER WHILE YOU HERE.. YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST YET.

After 15 years, Gang Starr fans can rejoice because a new full-length album with production by DJ Premier and rhymes from the legendary Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal has finally arrived. 16 cuts of freshness from Gang Starr has arrived in the form of the appropriately titled One Of the Best Yet. Containing sixteen tracks of pure heat that matches the signature Preemo sound with some never heard before rhymes from the late, great Guru, the unexpected seventh studio album from the classic rap duo hits hard and reminds us just how special Gang Starr was and forever will be.

With some assistance from the likes of J. Cole, Talib Kweli, Royce 5’9″, Nitty Scott, Q-Tip, Freddie Foxxx, Group Home, Ne-Yo and Big Shug, One Of The Best Yet is a powerful ode to hip hop. Check it out now!

#PRhyme2 @Royceda59 x @REALDJPREMIER Freestyle90 w/ @funkflex

It's Flex Fault ! Hilarious i can take personal claim that I slept on Royce DA 5'9.. Huh yes i admit I slept more like i always respected his catalog but I just never gave him a honest listen. When it comes to the art of freestyle I take it serious thou. For me there are two acceptable forms of freestyle. 

1st form of freestyle in Hiphop culture would be considered would be when an MC (Master of Ceremonies or Move Crowds or Mic Controller) off the dome or off the top ebonically speaking would be where one would spit  a rhyme that was organic and created in the moment.

2nd form of freestyle in hiphop culture would be considered when an MC would use pre-rehearse material, or written music on different beats showcasing delivery, cadence and most important how he or she rides the rhythm. 

Royce DA 5'9 in this freestyle showcases his genius by reaching into his book of rhymes proving he is a titan on the mic, plus it's always a pleasure to see one of the greatest DJ/Producer's still active Gangstar's own DJ Premier. When you get a chance check out Prhyme2 pre-order available now..
